The i95 metro area including philadelphia about threequarters of an inch to an inch and a quarter and central delaware and south jersey this is where were looking at the potential for more than an inch or an inch and a half of rainily i wouldnt be surprised if some areas end up with more than 2inches of rain. Today made it up to 76 degrees. It was beautiful. But we have not hit 80 degrees once this may. We hit it twice in march, three times in april. But last year in may, by may 20th we already had 13 days of temperatures in the 80s. If you like 80degree weather, i am tracking some but it wont be arriving until the middle of next week. But looks like we have an extended time of that. Right now, though, its pretty nice out there. Philadelphia 75 degrees. The same in allentown. Reading and trenton 74. Wilmington 73.

So, if you want to get some errands done before the rain, you want to go out for a long run, to it early in the morning. Looks like we are still dry but cloudy by 8 oclock but then by about 11 oclock, that rain has arrived and periods of rain heavy at times right through the afternoon. 2 oclock some heavy rain across south jersey. 5 oclock, the steadiest rain begins to lift off but then even by about 8 oclock, we still have a few lingering showers saturday evening and then sunday through tuesday, weve got a strong ridge of high pressure. The problem, though, we cant tap into that warmth because theres going to be a cutoff upper level low. That low pressure cant be steered by a jet stream so that will just meander over us so that will keep us unsettled with some scattered showers sunday through tuesday, the highest concentration those three days will be sunday and then we do begin to dry out and finally by wednesday, that low pressure will be out of here and then the temperatures sore. So the exclusive accuweather 7day forecast, tomorrow rainy, breezy and cool. The high only 61 degrees. Sunday better but not that great. 68 degrees, lots of clouds and scattered showers. On monday we bum it up to 70 with a popup shower or thunderstorm. The same on tuesday but a little bit more sunshine so we bump the high up to 76 degrees and then wednesday that low pressure moves out, 83 degrees, sunshine. 84 on thursday. 85 on friday as we kick offer the Holiday Weekend with a chance of thunderstorms.
